I read the email and submitted my reply there.
 
The answer is simple - Keep Jeanette as an adult - around 20. That solves the Carnal Knowledge issue and other unforeseen issues.
 
And the issue is not about Jeanette being a child but children being used to do adult things in an adult world:
 
Sex is one such issue.
 
Labor is another as Jeanette will not be able to do CPR on any adult as an 11 year old as she will not be strong enough to do it.
 
Decisions she makes as appearing as an 11 year old is a third, because no adult outside of Texas, let alone Charlton is doing to take her word on that she says she can do. They will ridicule her with "Ya kid, let have the adults deal with this."
 
I do not think nor care that Charton is such a damn paradise; if it is then why are people not flocking to it in droves? Because it is not. Because many people do not trust the spirits in general - whether it is this group or another group, they do not trust the spirits in general and as a whole. There is also that mutant problem as well, they do not want to mix with mutants - period.
 
The facts in this is simple - the Spirits messed up on several levels and they need us, Jeanette above all to fix this. Kind of ironic, isn't it. But this group will work its miracle and help others and bring many to Charlton as well as 'Gabrielle.' The spirits should just shut up and leave us alone do the job they told us to do. We are not getting paid for this, we are not getting rewarded, there is no union to go to. We were asked or drafted to do this job as it will be completed. Until then, the spirits should be taking notes and make decision about the future as what is being found will be used when this mission is done.

I'm waiting for Hondo as he has not returned yet, though I am in contact with him in email. He is delayed in what he has to do. Hopefully by the weekend we can start posting again.
 
I have a job interview tomorrow (Friday 9/30) but I can't find half of the paperwork I need to bring - aka: college transcripts and records. I do have the technical stuff to bring: a couple of Raspberry Pi's and some simple circuits - its for a robotics class for kids. But the College degree is vital, I hope they will accept a xeroxed copy of it.

There is another reason I can think of. Before the latest change in the time line the Texas Spirits expanded and linked existing railroads. During the last change in the time line the Texas Spirits built their own railroad from the ground up as part of the process of fixing something Fernando complained about. Either way, with a regularly scheduled rail service, towns and cities along a rail line benefit. At least I think they would.
 
If these towns and cities along a rail line were benefitting from a regularly scheduled rail service, would there be less of an incentive to leave and move to Charlton?

If the rail system was reduced to that of the 1880s, it would be hundreds of miles of track with steam locomotives; Rail on its own is not the problem or the issue. In fact it would be beneficial for the Spirits to connect existing railroads once they find out where they are connected too.
 
Now, this far away from Charlton there is a working railroad. But how far it extends and where it connects too remains to be seen. And if some lines are destroyed, can they be repaired and reconnected? If so, in my mind I think it can. People want jobs that pays and the railroads would be one such commodity that does over a wide area. Repairing and rebuilding the railroad lines would be one way that everyone can benefit from each other's work.
 
In that, people can commute to Charlton to work, shop or live (and work/sop elsewhere), that was established early on. A working railroad would make it easier for them to do that. As would a working highway. But people are survivors and groups of people when given time can rebuild towns and cities. That is what is being established. Personally I have not given up on humanity yet, just certain groups from within.

The Canadian Railroad extends well into the Arctic Circle to the North, the Pacific Ocean to the West and the Atlantic Ocean to the East, connecting towns and settlements along the way. It the colder regions, it is much like the Russian-Siberian express where it can be as far as over 250 miles of track between settlements with nomadic tribes helping in keeping the tracks clear during winter.
 
The Central American and South American Rail lines used to connect from Texas to Terrra de Fuego long ago but border squeamishes and territory disputes with countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, Ecuador, Columbia, et al have literally cut the rail lines at their borders despite that the Rail Lines would be beneficial to them. It's is a situation of biting their own noses off to spite their faces.
 
How much of all this has survived from the happening, remains to be seen.
